I have good friends that live on the NW side of Nashville. You make me want to take a road trip and go see them again. Nashville is a cool town and on my short list of places I'd like to live when I finally get out of Atlanta.

My wife and I were going to ride downtown and then walk around some; but....I didn't have any change for parking meters and I couldn't find any free parking (I must admit I'm paranoid about getting the bike "towed" aka "destroyed").

A BSA Thunderbolt only titled to its original owner who, before he died of cancer, asked his brother to keep riding it to keep it in good running order. His brother wasn't much of a rider, so it is here at Lane's where the intent is to keep every exhibit in good running order.

I like Nashville, but the last time I passed through there was May 2010. The dang place was flooding as I was leaving town towards Memphis. That was a tough trip. Wild wind and rain all the way to El Paso.

Yes indeed. The old town was a mess for about a year.

Saw the Lovin' Spoonful at the old Municipal Auditorium, '67/'68, something like that...

Excellent photos. I'd like to ride down and explore downtown on an early Sunday morning when traffic is light.

We get too much rain here. Other than that, it's a wonderful place to call home and it's beautiful...when the sun is out and the mosquitos aren't. I miss the rural feel of middle TN. It seems like so many people nowadays, and Nashville's sprawl feels outta control sometimes.

Then again, I grew up in the woods of Hickman County back in the 1970's...it's pretty woodsy now, you shoulda seen it in those days!
